Mancala - Wooden Game
$37.99
The Mancala family of games is one of the oldest in human entertainment. It is a game that is easy to play, but difficult to master. With respect to all the variations of the game, the rules described correspond to an asymmetric game, played with 4-6 balls.
OBJECT OF MANCALA
Collect more of the balls in your mancala than your opponent. Those are the two bowls located at the end of board on the display above.
BOARD SETUP
Place equal numbers of balls (4 to 6 balls) in each small bowl.
MANCALA RULES
Each player owns the six bowls that face him/her, and the mancala that is to the person's right.
The first player starts by scooping all of the balls out of one of the bowls on his side (those are the only six bowls that he can move). The player drops one stone in each succeeding bowl, counterclockwise, until there are no more balls left in hand from the original bowl.
If the player happens to go by his mancala he drops a stone in, but if the player goes by the opponents mancala no balls are dropped and the player moves on to the next bowl.
If the player drops the last stone in his mancala, he/she wins another turn, and gets to move again.
If the player drops the last stone into an empty bowl on his side of the board, he/she receives that stone plus all of his opponent's balls in the bowl directly across from that bowl. This is called a capture move. Once you make a capture move the current turn is over.
THE WINNER
When one player no longer has Balls in his bowls, the other player places all remaining balls from his bowls into His own Mancala.
The player with the most balls in his Mancala wins.
Barricade Wooden Game
$40.00
A variant of Ludo or Sorry popularized in Germanic countries during the last century, barricade combines the cutthroat nature of Sorry with a linear game board.
The object of the game is to be the first player to land a ball of their color in the white goal. Each Player chooses a set of 5 pegs placing them on the matching starting positions. The white barricades are placed on the red spaces on the board. Each player rolls the die in turn, highest roll plays first. All pegs may move forward, backwards and sideways. However they have to keep the same direction during one move. The pegs must be moved by the exact number thrown. One can pass non-white pegs of the same color or a different color. You may enter as many pegs as you want to the board during the game. All pegs start from the first black dot. If a your peg lands on a space occupied by your opponents peg, your opponents peg returns to its starting position.
Barricades are obstacles that may not be passed. Only when a peg lands on a barricade exactly the player whose peg landed on a barricade may place the barricade anywhere except the first row. Used cleverly, barricades block other player's pegs and protect your own. The game ends when one player land exactly in the white goal.
